Outline Approach

This coaching skills course for managers is delivered in the following stages over about a 6 to 8 week period:

Fundamentals workshop (2 days)

Follow-up workshop (1 day)

Post programme support with action learning sets (if requested)

The two skills workshops are separated by a period of about 6 weeks to allow for structured workplace coaching practice.

By the end of the Manager as Coach 2 + 1-day coaching skills course, participants will leave with a rounded set of skills and approaches for effective workplace coaching. They will have a clear appreciation of how coaching can impact the performance, responsibility and intrinsic motivation of staff.

This coaching skills course is designed as a highly experiential and powerful training experience.

Our coaching approach is fundamentally non-directive, that is, a style of coaching that allows the individual being coached to think, to come to their own solutions, and to take action with commitment and energy.

We have found that ‘asking, not telling’ is counter-intuitive to many managers (and people generally), and our programme is designed to frame non-directive coaching firmly on the Fundamentals Workshop, before exploring the potential of using more directive interventions such as feedback and challenge on the Follow-up Workshop.

Objectives for the Fundamentals Workshop (2 days)

To enable managers to have more effective and productive conversations with colleagues and staff
